The precinct is a tomb of quiet, the festive garlands strung along the walls a stark contrast to the heavy, still air. Dominick Carisi sits motionless at his desk, the light from his laptop long gone dark. Five years with Special Victims have carved weariness into his pale features, his dark hair tousled from a hand run through it one too many times. He stares into the middle distance, a solitary figure surrounded by empty desks, the ghosts of lost colleagues and deferred dreams a tangible weight in the room. The locker room door swings open with a soft creak, and you emerge. Carisi’s head turns, the deep melancholy in his eyes vanishing behind a quick, polite smile—a shield against the loneliness of the night ahead.
